If you want democracy, don’t try to do an end-run around democracy. Test your ideas in the electoral process. The judiciary is supposed to also serve as a check and balance to potential political corruption. And they do. To frame it as anti-democratic is bordering on rhetorical insanity.

For once, the Alberta separatists have a right to be angry. That's because Danielle Smith wasted their time and energy with a petition that was unconstitutional and bound to get set aside by the courts. Now, will they turn their sights on her? #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/15/o...

Seppies out in these social media streets, showing everyone exactly who they are. The masks are off. It’s always been about racism, homophobia, and hate. They want their own little fiefdom of middle aged white men.

So, Canada isn't broken? www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Hey Alberta - just a reminder that if you get snow this weekend, it was definitely my fault. Sorry ‘bout that, eh.

Spent the last 20 minutes running around the patio and yard that I just got set up on the weekend, gathering all of the plants and cushions and taking down the trellises cuz it’s gonna be a GUSTY one in Edmonton. #yeg #yegwx

Well, fuck. Now I have to cheer for the Habs.

With all of the ‘Berta seppies news flooding our feeds, I feel like we are ignoring the best thing to come out of this big news day: Jason Markusoff’s hair. oh. mygod. Behold the glory. #ableg #cdnpoli

I actually think this works in Don Dani’s favour. She gets to keep running Berta Nostra, blame the “activist judges,” keep the septic seppies on her side, while never having to deal with the incredibly unpopular idea to separate from Canada. She’ll burrow into the premiership like a diseased tick.

Tonight I turned 1 chicken breast and 6 slices of bacon into a meal that fed my family of 3 and ngl I kinda feel like a kitchen Jesus right now.

Premier Danielle Smith says government will appeal too, questions judge's legal reasoning and says it's "antidemocratic." And will talk to cabinet about next steps (i.e. calling referendum as government). Wants the petitioners' voice to be heard.

"This is a big deal. The government cannot have a separatist referendum this fall, period. They cannot do it without defying the law, without defying the courts, and without knowingly doing something that is illegal." - Naheed Nenshi, leader of Alberta’s official opposition. #ableg #cdnpoli

Oh they are really gonna start the whiny baby howling now. #cdnpoli #ableg apple.news/Adu0pFroFTBi...

It’s not about Trump. They’re just waiting for him to die. It’s not even about left vs right. They DGAF about your lives. They govern for billionaires, not for YOU. It’s class warfare. And the billionaires are winning while Americans fight each other for crumbs in the streets.

Gawd. “Eyphoria” is a brutal ride. This shit gets darker every week.

Today I learned you should never tell a Canadian east coaster you don’t like fiddleheads cuz they take that shit PERSONAL 😳 It’s like telling a Mormon you don’t like funeral potatoes. They’ll excommunicate you for that sin.

They’re never gonna remove him, you know. They’re just gonna wait out his eventual death. They can’t remove him. If they did, the economy, the war, the alienating of allies, every horror becomes their responsibility & permanent liability. They need him there now to blame for everything later.

Canada must wake up to the threat unfolding in Alberta. With the arrival of the Russian Internet Research Agency" Danielle Smith's disinformation dumpster fire is about to burst into a four-alarm fire. It will threaten Canada. I have been tracking this group for years. substack.com/home/post/p-...

This is courageous and essential reporting. A wake up call for Albertans and Canadians. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

It cannot be said enough times, nor loudly enough: Danielle Smith will blow up this entire province - and possibly the country - before she EVER takes accountability for anything. She blew up the CBE. She blew up the WRP. Blowing shit up is what she does when she can’t win. Know that, #ableg.

Please enjoy my cartoon for Thursday's Toronto Star

Sister-cousin-bestie’s husband is blasting that sweet Neil Diamond in the garden while he hacks away at my overgrown raspberry bushes. This day fucking ROCKS.

Sister-cousin bestie’s husband showed up at 9 am to help me in my garden, and by “help” he meant “I’ll just take care of this myself doncha worry a thing” and now my raspberry patch is almost entirely pruned. Everyone needs friends like this when they become an old.

I stg the only time this province makes international news is when Danielle Smith and her lunatic right seppie sucks are humiliating the rest of us. This is the most corrupt government in the history of Alberta, & possibly the country. #ableg #cdnpoli www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

My happy place right now is the new season of Love On the Spectrum. Connor & Georgie 4-ever 🫶

Albertans should not be asked to vote in any referendum or election while basic questions remain unanswered about our democratic institutions. Premier Smith should call a public inquiry. Now. 🔗https://drjaredwesley.substack.com/p/albertas-voters-list-scandal-deserves

Not gonna do any spoilers, but I caught the matinee showing of “The Devil Wears Prada 2”, and here are some notes: Emily Blunt steals the movie. Period. The writers ditched the body shaming of the first film 🫶 THE COZY CORNER VALUE BIN CERULEAN BLUE SWEATER RETURNS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE 😭

It’s only 8 am but I’ve already learned about “grippy socks jail”this fine Saturday morning.

Turned the furnace off today. Letting you all know this so that if we get a blizzard next week, you know which bitch to blame.

Latest from Jen Gerson on the #ableg electoral list scandal is a must read. “…an email was sent to Elections Alberta titled: ‘Need to report possible violation - Urgent.’ How do I know this? I know this because that person was me. I wrote that email. “ #cdnpoli open.substack.com/pub/theline/...

Infamous seppie David Parker of Centurion Project has claimed he “paid $45k to a 3rd party” for the electoral lists he illegally had access to, and illegally uploaded to the internet. Someone tell Parker that “it was just a little organized crime” isn’t the legal defence he thinks it is. #ableg

This.

If online data brokers sniffed out Centurion's database while it was publicly available, this list isn't just in the hands of some separatist group now—it's potentially available to every telemarketer and scammer on the internet.

This isn’t hyperbole. Aaron is absolutely correct. What the separatists have done isn’t just illegal - they put every registered voter in Alberta at risk of identity fraud, stalking and harassment, scams …. My good lord what an awful day for this province.

The latest violation of election laws by Alberta separatists is beyond a scandal. People are going to jail for this shit. Dean Del Mastro got prison time for overspending on his federal campaign. What Parker & the Alberta Republican Party did is far more egregious. #ableg #cdnpoli

UPDATE: An Alberta court has ordered a separatist group to take down its elector database. The group has private info - including elector IDs - for 2.9M Albertans. Elections Alberta previously declined to investigate: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... w Chen Wang, @mattscace.bsky.social

CBC is now reporting that it was (allegedly) the Republican Party of Alberta that illegally provided the electoral list to Parker’s separatist Centurion Project group. Speaks volumes that Alberta’s separatist conservative cabals consistently struggle with abiding by election laws. #ableg #cdnpoli

Good morning, Edmonton. #oilers #nhlplayoffs

As we head into the first weekend in May, a gentle reminder that the orange asshole disappears for 3 to 4 days near the beginning of each month so let’s cool it with the “HE MUST BE DEAD” shit this time and just enjoy spring.

I get so excited for NHL playoffs and I am into it but I live with a man who had Stanley Cup dreams but and now just dreams of winning his hockey pool so by the end of the first series, I get all UGH DO WE HAVE TO WATCH EVERY TEAM OMG HOCKEY AGAIN.

Somebody better get me Henrik Lundqvist’s mobile number right now cuz me and he need to have a discussion about the “Just For Men” bullshit happening with his hair. It’s almost Bob Stauffer level bad come on. #NHLplayoffs

Melania avoiding holding Trump’s hand with that “I vant to vomit” look on her face while he glances at her sideways gives me so much joy I feel giddy. She is repulsed by him to the point she can’t bear 5 seconds of his touch. I hope she’s fucking miserable, every day of her accomplice life.

OMG OILERS OMG OMG.

Big love, Buffalo. Big, big love. 🫶🇨🇦

After months of pressure to stop Bill 11—Alberta legislation to establish two-tier, American style health care—the Federal Health Minister is warning that Alberta risks millions of dollars in health transfers if they move forward with breaking the Canada Health Act. nationalpost.com/news/canada/...

Meanwhile, in another part of the forest…. #ableg #abpoli #referendum

All I’m saying is if you preemptively hire this very expensive law queen long before an investigation is completed, you know your shit is about to get fucked up. Marie Henein is the best criminal defense lawyer in the nation. MHCare retaining her firm months ago speaks volumes. #ableg

Carrie Tate and Tu Thahn Ha have done Watergate/Pentagon Papers, old school, hardcore, time consuming, true investigative reporting for the G&M on the Corrupt Care scandal. Journalism still matters because of reporters like them. (A subscription wouldn’t kill some of you). #ableg
